NEWS OF THE DAT.
-Gold closed yesterday at 12J.
-Cotton in New York closed weak; uplands
l&jc. Orleans 194c; sales 2250 bales.
-In Liverpool cotton closed strong; uplands
9?d, Orleans 9?d; sales 12,000 bales.
-The fire marshal ol New York City reports
that fourteen per cent, of the fires there are
caused by kerosene.
-Botts, who shot "Pet" Halstead in the bed?
room of his mistress in Newark, some months
ago, has been convicted of murder In the first
degree.
-Madame, the Queen of Denmark, Is cer?
tainly "a managing mamma." One daughter is
the future Empress of Russia, the other the
Mure Queen of England; while one of her
sons is Sing of Greece and the son-in-law of a
Czar.
-Patriotism in young maidens in Metz ls
tantamount to all the virtues. A young French
lady of that city recently refused a Prussian
officer's offer of marriage, and (he next day I
received ten applications for her hand among
the richest young men of the town.
-Tho weight of evidence ls decidedly in
support of the charge that the Chicago fire
waa from first to last Incendiary. It Is now
authoritatively declared that the story of the
cow that was said to have kicked over a kero?
sene lamp is all a fable. It ls said ?tJt the I
fam.ly were asleep when the fire broke out,
and had not been In the barn alter night at all.
The fire of the preceding evening ls now said
to have been clearly incendiary. Thus the ac?
cidental appears to drop out of the chapter,
- -?,d design takes its place.
-The great bridge at St. Louis ls progress-1
log rapidly. The concrete or foundation for I
the last pier, a email one on the Illinois side of
the river, has been laid, and the bridge com-1
pao y will have no further use of the air
pumps, voltaic armor, ?c. The masonry, of
which there will bo one hundred and three I
thousand cubic yards, is about two-thirds
completed, and the superstructure bas already I
been commenced. The cast-iron plates at the
piers have been placed and prepared for the
reception of the steel tubes forming the
spans. It will be completed tn about a year j
from now.
-The most extraordinary delusion on the
part of her Britannic Majesty, with which Mr.
Gladstone had to contend during his recent
visit to Balmoral, was her confirmed opinion 1
?Ha^Prince Albert was present at ihe meet
lngT^* occupied his usual seat by het side.
Mr. Gladstone In vain attempted to dispel this
hallucination. She constantly turned round
to the supposed Prince, and asked bim if it j
was not true. She declared that he replied In 1
the afflmative, and for upward; of an hour she '
persisted in addressing him on every subject (
on which the Premier consulted her.
-The custom of stealing children from '
? their parents In Italy and taking them to for- ,
eign parts to be employa ior me Benefit ot
their abductors has become so notorious that
the law In that country has finally been com?
pelled to take steps to check the evil. By the
new criminal code of Italy those persons who
entice children and take them abroad are
punished with five years' Imprisonment. The
minister of justice In his report on the sub?
ject estimates that five thousand young Ita?
lian -children are thus annually sold, as lt
were, to persons in the United States. These
children are those whom we see about the
streets playing upon execrable fiddles and col
lee ting precarious contributions for peripa?
tetic organ-grinders.
-Hon. Carl Schurz delivered an eloquent ;
oration on the political questions of the day, at <
Louisville, a few evenings ago, la which he ]
repeated his able and unanswerable arguments ;
In favor of preserving the liberties ol the peo- j
pie, and in opposition to the despotism of the
administration. His reception partook of the
nature of an ovation. The crowd was tremen- U
dons, and thousands were unable to obtalu 1
even standing room. The senator's speech 1
was nearly two hours in length, and was re- i
celved with the most emphatic expressions of j
approval. As an evidence of the effect pro- (
doced by his patrlotlc'and masterly effort, it is L
noticeable that the Louisville Ledger, which
ls opposed to many of the orator's suggestions,
ls nevertheless constrained to admit that he ls
evidently a sc'uolar and a profound thinker, *
that be "reasons logically and supports his po- '
Billon with arguments which prove him to be 1
a man ol thought and calculation"; that he ls j I
undoubtedly sincere, and that his great power ]
In American politics M will be exerted in the |
Interest of a magnanimous patriotism." J,
-News of trouble and rumors of possible I
civil war come to us from Liberia. Some two j j
years ago the present executive of that coun?
try, President Boye, was elected for the term 1
of four years Recently, however, the Con- J1
gross af Liberia passed an act limiting the '
President's term to two years, and now the J .
partisans of Roberts, who vi" be remembered
as the predecessor of Roye, insist upon tue j
Immediate resignation of the latter and a new <
election by the people, Roberts himself being .
a candidate for the office. Roye refuses to re?
sign, and declares his intention of serving
ont the term for which he was elected, in
which he is sustained by a considerable party, 11
and this refusal has given rise to a great dea I '
of oitterness between the two factions. Anl j:
affray lately occurred at the seat ol govern- ?
ment between the adherents of Roye and Rob- i
erts,m which the collector of the port,a staunch ?
supporter of the present Incumbent, and one jj
of the most able and prominent men of the j
country, was killed. This occurrence has
added fuel to the already existing fire, and it ls '
feared that Roberts, who is said to have quite '
a formidable backing, will raise the standard '
of open rebellion.
-The open Polar Sea, reported by the At?
lantic cable as having been discovered by one
of the German exploring expeditions, has di?
rected attention to the different compan es of
scientific men now employed in the arduous
work of reachln*r.the highest parallel of north
latitude. It appears thj?t at tbespresent time j
there are seven expeditions engaged in Arctic
research-two lrom Germany, under the com-1
mand of Rosenthal and Payer respectively;
one fi-om Sweden, consisting ot two govern?
ment vessels of war; one from Scotland, under
Lamont; one irom England, under Leigh |
Smith; one from France, fitted out by Octave
Pavy, and the United States expedition, under
Captain Hall. The discovery ol the open
Polar Sea by the German expedition brings to
recollection the second Arctic exploration of
Dr. E. K. Kane, and his perilous overland
Jrurney lo a point from which he saw, In the
Inaccessible distance, the unfrozen waters of
the circum-polar ocean. This discovery of
Dr. Kane, although credited by many persons,
was not accepted as an incontrovertible fact.
The accuracy of his observations bas, however,
been established by the recent report from the
German expedition.
-As the ruins are gradually being cleared
away, tke extent of the losses by the Chicago
fire and the exact condition of affairs In that
city at the present lime can be estimated with
approximate correctness. From a statement
In the Chicago Tribune, we gather the facta
that over 50,000 persons have left the elly,
making the remaining population about 280,
0OQ; one-halt of the stock of pork products was
consumed; 1,600,000 ol the 5,000,000 bushels ol
grain were burned; and about one-fifth of the
lumber, one-quarter of the leather, one-hall of
the coal, and the greater portion of the groce?
ries, dry goods and boots and shoes were also
destroyed. A careful average of the larger
items shows that the city has suffered a loss of
not less than twenty nor more than twenty
five per cent, on her total assets-real and per
sonal. The ratio of increase during the past
thirty-four years has averaged ten and a
half per cent, per annum. This rate would re?
store the status of a month ago, within three
years. Making every due allowance for the
terrible set-back experienced, the Tribune
thinks there can be BO doubt that five years
hence, at most, the exhibit of population,
wealth, commerce and manufactures will be
greater than a month ago.
A Bashful Witness.
The New York Times prints, with edito?
rial comment, some extracts from a private
letter, which give a fanciful picture of the
perils and privations that any person must
face who comes to South Carolina, and
"attempts to live there in opeD, yet unobtru?
sive loyalty to the Constitution and Gov
"ernLaent of the United States." The Times
says :
We are absolutely Interdicted from giving
the slightes hint as to the identity ol the wri?
ter of ibis letter, for he is still at the South, in
the midst of the Ku-Klux, and he wus recently
ia South Carolina, at a place at which bis let?
ter ls dated. More than this, he is not a
Northern man, much less a M carpet-bagger,"
but a Southern gentleman, of an old and hon?
ored family - a family respected through
many descents, and honored in its present
representatives, who are men of recognized
ability and character. * Having had their eyes
opened, and their minds enlarged by education I
and travel, and having also ordinary prudence
and good faith, they nave perceived and laid
to heart the truth that lt Is better that the late
"on pleasant net s between the sections" should
be regarded as settled, and that the war for
slavery and secession came to an end some
years ago; and that, consequently, the way to
Erosperity and happiness for the people of the I
tte slave States lies through a submission to
the Government of the Union, and a genuine
and hearty obedience to the constitution and
the laws. This bellet they have not hesitated
to avow and sustain in a firm but moderate
way ; and the result 1B simply that their lives
are in hourly peril, and that their families, I
their very wives and daughters art subject to I
daily insult. The writer of this letter Informs
his iriend that the published accounts of Ku
Klux doings, BO far lrom being exaggerated, I
tall short of the truth. "I am wriilng," he
says, "?rom a town which has but recently
bad a visitation from the Ku-Klux, more than
a hundred strong, at dead of night. I am
hated here in my native State beyond measure,
and bave lately received, even lrom men who
were once personally mv life long friends, j
nothing but scowl? and ill-concealed detesta- I
Hon. f have been amazed to learn that in this
baud ol desperadoes and assassins rode the
wealthiest, tue most Influential, ami ?v^n the
oldest citizens of this county. What a terrible j
condition of affairs ! Sitting here to-night,
and feeling myself to be nut the impossible
.object before morning o? a massacre, which
might Include in my case, as lt has doue in
others, even my Innocent babes, I think it a
shame that tho -trong hand of the Federal
ctuvernment ls not here to protect me and
them-shame, a burning shame ! * . .
I could convince you thai my family share my
anxiety by inclosing the latest letter I have
received lrom A. B., (naming a highly respect-\
ed clergyman in one of the principal cities of\
the South.) who ls himsell the mark of unspeak?
able insult, begging me to be cautious In all
my utterances; not that I might suffer abridg?
ment ol ray business prospects by imprudence,
but that 1.might lose lile liselt." The writer
then goes on to mention f/te assassination of a
man of mark and of growing political influ?
ence, "who was killed in open day, In the
presence ol a crowd of people on the platlorm
of a railway station, in the county where he
was born. His murderers disdained even the
disguise ol masks, and yet not one of them
has even been arrested. I am sick of this,"
be adds, "wearied of perpetual insult, exhaust- J
ed by perpetual apprehension. Don't think I
am alone In this apprehension. Even the I
Sovernor of South Carolina, has. to my own
positive knowledge, been compelled lo keep J
ir med men In his house at night for months
together. I am well acquainted with him and
know the fact."'
The writer of a letter which is maliciously
introe in every particular, moy well desire to
preserve his incognito ; but The Times, in I
printing what he has written, baa innocently
Advertised his identity, as unmistakably as
f it had given bis name. It needs no espe?
cial shrewdness to divine that the letter to
which our contemporary pins its faith was
vritten in Orangeburg, and that the "highly
'respected clergyman'' bas his home in
Charleston. For while white men, who are
ivowed Republicans, are numerous enough
throughout our State, we are happy to say
that South Carolina has not two men within
ier borders who combine the devilish malice, j
.he reckless falsehood, and the brazen impu?
dence of the author of this letter. But the
Tunes may quiet its apprehensions in his
jehalf. Renegade and slanderer or our peo?
ple though he be, he is, and always has been,
is safe in Orangeburg, or anywhere else in
South Carolina, as the editor or the New
Stork Times himself, in his own cozy office.
The assertion that any white man in sym?
pathy with the Republican party in South
Carolina is, for that reason " in hourly
peril " is, os the Times' informant know3
perfectly well, a barefaced untruth. Judge
3rr, Judge Graham, Judge Moses, Scott,
Neagle, Parker, Crew3, the Mackeys, and
?cores of other orticials, or hangers-on of the
State Government - all out-spoken Republi?
cans, and in various degrees of popularity I
or odium among the mass of our white peo?
ple-are living and conspicuous exam?
ples of the falsity or the charge. We admit
that negroes have been whipped and in
?ome cases killed, and we condemn the law- j
lessness or which they were the victims as J
heartily and sincerely as the Times can do.
But even these cases are few in number. I
We know of but one instance in which a
white Radical hos suffered an injury at the
hands of the so-called Ku-Klux. The mun
"of mark and of growing political influence," J
over whose murder, in broad daylight, the I
letter-writer weeps inky tears, was B. F.
Randolph, a colored member of the Legisla-1
lure, who was killed on the lGth of October,
18C8-three years ago, and long before the
Times' letter-writer had been led,by the con?
vincing argument of a taste or the official
loaves and Ashes, to discern the beauties of
Sooth Carolina Radicalism. At that tittie, if j
we mistake not, he was still glibly spouting
at Democratic ward meetings, In behalf of ]
Seymour and Blair.
-This, in conclusion, we would say to the
New York Times : We flatly deny, that any
Republican, taciturn or outspoken, is in any
more danger, on the score of his politics, in
South Carolina than he is in New York. This
declaration we set squarely against the fab?
rications of a writer, the bare mention of
whose name would itself be, hereabouts at
least, an ample refutation of his slanders.
